○ why offspring have traits similar to their parents.

question 9 1 pts
mitosis is for_________
○ growth and repair
○ repair
○ reproduction

Explanation:

• Question 8: Mendel's pea plant experiments established the basic laws of inheritance, which explain how genetic traits are passed from parents to offspring, directly addressing why offspring share traits with their parents.
• Question 9: Mitosis produces genetically identical diploid cells, which is used for an organism's growth (increasing cell number) and repairing damaged or worn-out cells. Asexual reproduction via mitosis is limited to some single-celled organisms, so the primary general functions are growth and repair.

Answer:

1. Question 8: C. Why offspring have traits similar to their parents.
2. Question 9: A. Growth and Repair
